Macrodinâmica do produto sob restrição externa: a experiência brasileira no período 1930-2004

Abstract

The paper analyses the behavior of output and income in Brazil in the 1930-2004 period, thus intending to contribute to a better understanding of the constraints that have been faced by the Brazilian economy to achieve high levels of these variables in the long run. The empirical study developed in this paper revealed that long-run levels of output and income in Brazil have been mostly determined by conditions associated with the external equilibrium of the economy.
